Power buton broken?

My ipod toucht hat i have almost had for a year seems to be broken.... My power button is not working at all. I cant turn my ipod touch on. (without plugging it in to the computer after it runs out of battery. And i cant turn it off... I cant even restore.

It is jailbroken on firmware 2.1, so i dont know how to lock it up to bring it to the apple store
